Section 10: Appliances
Cooking With Propane (if so equipped)
See the Propane System section for important safety instructions. Refer to the manufactur-
er's owner's manual for detailed operating and safety instructions for all propane appliances.
Cooktops, Range and Oven (if so equipped)
For detailed operating and safety information, refer to the manufacturer's user guide.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
material come in contact with the top burners or heating elements, burner
grates or areas near the top burners or oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. These areas can get hot enough to cause burns.
Never leave cooking food unattended. Turn pan handles inward, but not
over the tops of the other range burners. Ensure that pans used are large
enough to contain the food and avoid boil-overs. Heavy splattering or
spills left on the cooktop can ignite and cause burns.
If using glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed uten-
sils or cookware verify it is safe for use on the top burners.
Do not cover the oven vent openings while the oven is in operation.
Restricting the flow of combustion air will create an asphyxiation hazard.
Never use oven cleaners, chlorine bleach, ammonia or glass cleaners with am-
monia. Always allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.
Cleaning instructions
Refer to the manufacturer's user guide included for detailed cleaning instructions.
General Cleaning
To avoid damage and possible burns, be sure the appliance is off and all parts
are cool before handling or cleaning.
Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use.
If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced.
If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking
area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care,
wipe spill with a clean, dry towel.
Electric Drop-In Cooktops (if so equipped)
™ NOTE: Make sure you are connected to a 120-volt power source.
Do not use aluminum foil under any circumstances on the electric range cook-
top, as this material will damage the cooktop surface if it melts.
